Can’t stop myself

Well the challenge is over, but I still want to write. My head is full of thoughts and there’s no one right here, right now that I can share them all with. This is why I need to practice meditation. I need to learn how to turn off my thoughts sometimes. Give my brain a break from working so hard. Let it rest. Stop worrying! Yoga is suppossed to help me do that, but even in class it can be hard to turn it off and just focus on the movements.

As I’m writing this, it just occured to me that once class starts, I am able to turn off all outside thoughts and just focus on teaching. Wow, I hadn’t thought of that before, but it is true. I have to be in the moment to focus on 18 little ones. I guess I’ve just had an aha moment. Oprah would be proud!
